HOW ROMAM FIELDING
BORROWED A TOWN
A Typical Movie Adventure of
thfs Great West New Players
and New Scenarios,
By Photoplay Editor
tt Was r gala day for Phoenix, Ariz.,
when ttomnlne Fielding, the Lubln writer
ant! director, made the big scenes for his
latest picture, "Hang On, Cowboy."
Fielding not only "borrowed" the city
government Itnelf, but n largo part of
the population as well. Fielding Is ono
Of tho most successful of directors In
handling crowds. Whenever he takes big
exterior scenes the curious come to be
entertained and amused by the strnngo
sight of the actors and cameramen, and
before they know It remain as actors,
earnestly and enthusiastically working
under Fielding's magnetic Influence.
Not only did the entire Phoenix Fire
Department lend Its nld that day to
"Hang On, Cowboy," but tho City Hall
suspended business, and tho off.'clals,
clerks and policemen grouped about and
registered surprise, or rnccd madly to the
rescue of the marriage license depart
ment, when Fielding, mounted on a
spirited horse, rode up the steps and Into
the City Hall, demanding a marriage li
cense quick. When the frightened clerks
complied, Fielding galloped down the
steps with tho City Hall crowd In hot
pursuit. Fielding nllowed himself to bo
captured, Just beyond tho camera, praised
everybody, and treated tho town to but
termilk, the favorite beverage In Arizona.
torlmer Johnston Is directing n. produc
tlno of another Ilev. Cyrus Townsend
Brady story, "The Island of Surprise,"
for tho Vltagraph Company. The cast
will bo an unusually strong one, Including
William Courtcnay, this being not only
has first apeparance with tho Vltngraph,
but his Initial public presentation ns a
screen artist Courtcnay Is scheduled for
the role of Robert Lovell, a character In
every way adapted to his talents. In tho
feminlno leading role Edith Storey will
appear. In tho character of Dorothy
Ardcn. Tho support will bring Into action
such favorite players as Julia Swayne
Gordon, Zona Kcefe, Charles Kent, An
ders Itandolf, Charles Wellesley and Leo
Delaney.
The plot of tho new Brady screen drama
Is ono particularly well suited to tho
camera, and abounds In thrilling and
unique situations. Two girls and a man
are marooned on an Island. The man Is
tho husband of ono of his feminine com
panions In misfortune, but this fact Is not
publicly known. The other girl has boon
selected by their patents to become his
wife. On this foundation Doctor Brady
has bulldcd a complex and Interesting
drama. Ono of tho big scenes will show
a horde of savages attacking the trio on
tho Island, when a counter-attack by a
warship effects a rcscuo of the marooned
ones.
Ono of tho most recent additions to
tho Lubln players Is Eleanor Falrbank,
whose reputation gained lUBtre In "A Pair
or Sixes" here. She Is now playing one
of tho Important roles In "Time's Tomato
surprise," tho comedy written by Acton
Davles. In which Mario Dressier will bo
featured, supported by a strong com
pany, with Tom McNaughton, the cccen
trlo British comedian.
After playing In feature productions
for almost a year, Kathlyn Williams, tho
Sellg star, has returned to her first love
animal pictures for a short time. She Is
now working on a three-reel animal story,
written by herself and entitled "Tho
Mark of a Lioness." William Iloberl
Daly Is directing the picture. Daly, by
the way, Is a recent recruit to the com
pany's forces.
irnthrvn "Williams and Eugenie Bes-
serer are two actresses who shall add
Ito their laurels through their work In
-vha Ttosnrv" a Sellc Bed Seal play to
b released through V. L,. S. E. directly
tdi exhibitors on Juno 28. The Btory of
"iVie Rosary" Is adapted from Edward
E. Rose's play of tho same name, nnd
the play was popularly received In all
parts of the country.
Tho story Is of a self-saerlflclng man of
the church, who gives up a great love in
answer to the call of duty, and turns his
back upon the world. The prologue
shows tho cast of characters as they ap
peared In Ireland, with adequate settings
and correct costuming. Then the action
begins in America, where the Rev. Father
Kelly watches his flock and cares for the
unfortunate.

"You aro talking nonsense," retorted
Maud. "My mother had no power to bind
mo or Blve a promise on my beh"lf',pf
one can do that for another person, least
ot all for a child under age. lou must
have known that at the time.
Sho spoke proudly and firmly, but sho
did not relish his challenge. "Will you
honor tho check or dishonor U7
"That In a sense Is true." observed
Huron, still pacing the room, his hands
bohlnd his back, "but I was contract np;
with your mother not to do something
which. It was reasonable to assume, you
would not wish done." .,,,
"I fall to understand you," said Maud,
not sure whether she did or not. but
anxious to gain time for reflection.
"Your mother nsked me not to publish
what I knew-that is to say. not to betray
her. Would you have wished me to7
He stopped In his walk and met her
eyes with a direct Inquiry.
"No. I should not," she. answered.
"Very well, then. I asked your mother
to pay the only price which I would have
taken for my dishonor at that time-far
It was dishonor to keep silence, as you
yourself think. It scorns to roe, therefore,
that she-your mother-had some author
ity for pledging your word. But I will
release you from It If you like.
"You will!" cried tho girl delightedly.
"Yes, but you understand what that
will mean. If I am to treat tho pledge
given by your mother as null and void, I
am free to behave exactly as I proposed
to do before that pledge was given.'
"In other words, to betray my
mother?"
"Why not? If you repudiate that prom
ise I shall have been tricked. And you
Insulted mo not long ago for not assert
ing Martin Arrol's Innocence."
Maud went very pale as he turned to
the window. The silence In the room was
oppressive. She watched a little white
cloud pass behind tho tower of tho mu
seum and then spoke again.
"It all amounts to this blackmail. You
are using your knowledge of my mother's
guilt to get hold of me. Why are you
doing It? Do you pretend to love me7"
"I do love you. That Is why I amHry
lng to enforce my bond. If I was a vul
gar blackmailer, If I wanted money or
valuables, couldn't I have extracted them
from your mother years ago?"
"Perhaps you did," put In Maud calmly.
He started slightly, but she did not see
that, as her back was towards him. "You
have no right to suggest that," he began
hotly, then resuming his calm tone he
reminded her, "you have heard the say
ing. 'All's fair In love, and war.' "
"I have often wonaeren wnai particu
larly mean trlok that saying was In
vented to excuse," rejoined Maud medi
tatively, "but It Isn't true. All la cer
tainly not fair In war poisoning wells or
tiring on a flag ot truce, for Instance. No
love could excuse such meanness as you
disgrace yourself by contemplating."
"Call my conduct by what name you
like," he retorted fiercely, "we won't
quarrel over words. I know that I want
you more than I have ever wanted any
thing on earth that for flve years past I
have lived In the hopes of getting you.
I should Indeed be a fool If I threw away
my pistol, especially as you have told me
that you love another man."
Somehow when he had said that he did
not appear altogether the contemptible
thing she wished to lanoy him. The sav
age intensity of his passion, his satanlo
indifference to all moral considerations.
Impressed her In Bplte of herself. She
took a long time to reply.
"You are a great fool, Mr. Huron. How
could you possibly get me by such means
as you indicate; Suppose you forced me
to marry you what then?"
"I would be content."
Maud smiled derisively. "You don't ap
pear to realize that I could make your
life a hell upon earth, that I could deny
you my presence, that I could withdraw
myself further from you than I have ever
been. You talk as If marriage necessarily
meant love. We promise to love, honor
and obey, but it's not within the power
of soy one to promise anything but the
last And I am not the patient Grlselda
tpe of woman, Mr. Huron. You know
er wil that I'm net You would b,e

"I do not think so." he sa.14 simply. "It
,U1 b a, risk wenfe Uktawr" And he
teemed to dsvour her with his eyes.
You know yourself that I'm In love
with another man." Mid "Ymj don t

of a kindly disposed fate.
"It's a pity you aro BUch n scoundrel,"
sho romarked. "You might hnve made
some women love you. But you have
spoilt your chances with mo-if ever you
had any. I shall hato you as long as I
live."
"I do not think you will," ho nnswered
softly.
Then her tono softened, too. 8ho
changed her manner to ono ot entreaty.
"Gilbert, why do you persist In this hor
rible, this abominable attitude? It seems
Incredible in an Englishman In a muti
I have been accustomed to regard as a
gentleman. You havo always been my
mother's most Intimate friend-she tolls
me that sho cared for you very much
onco" sho saw him smile sardonically
"and you soy you love me. Yot you stand
horo nnd actually throaten" tho girl
shuddered nnd covered hor faco with her
hands. "Oh, It Is too horrible. You can
not mean It Bay you do not mean It!"
Sho sank Into a chair nnd pressed her
hands against her temples.
Ho camo nnd stood by her. "Listen to
me," ho said quietly. "All theso years
I havo kept my secrof and never attempt
ed to enforce my bond. Then when you
were In Morocco I rcnllicd fully what you
were to mo. I felt I could never again
endure tho risk of losing you. Immediate
ly nfter your return you began to speak
of your love for this man Arrol. Tho
other night in thnt room" ho pointed in
tho direction of tho drawing-room "you
told mo that you proposed to marry him.
I saw that I had no tlmo to win your
love that I must claim my reward now
or never." Ho paused to let his words
sink In. "You think I am a mean
scoundrel, a blackmailer. I tell you that
no man who truly loves a woman and
sees her about to be carried off by a rival
would hesitate to act as I am doing. I
never pretended to be a good mnn.
GoodneBS Is generally a matter of tem
perament, often a mere dread of your
neighbor's opinion. I will make
you lovo me, Maud.''
Sho shuddered again. Ho Bpoko as If
ho had already won tho battle, ns If sho
was already his.
"You are too late, Gilbert," sho told
him. "If I ever could havo cared for you
In that way, I should 'have had to begin
sooner. For better or worse, I lovo an
other man." She sprang to her feet and
furiously rejected the hand ho held to
ward her. "Oh, I hate myself for even
discussing this matter with you," sho
cried. "Believe me, I feel degraded! I
sent for you to see If you would dare to
propose this Infamous bargain to me
personally. I see that you have so little
self-reBpect as to do so. Very well, I
utterly reject "
"Havo a care, Maud." Tho man's voice
rang out sternly; his hand was raised In
warning. "Itcmembcr that If you repu
diate your mother's bond, that I am re
leased from all obligations that my lips
are unsealed."
Her faco was deadly white; she drove
her nails Into her palms to prevent her
self striking him. It seemed to her that
tho hate In her eyes must scorch him.
"Do your worst!" she challenged him.
"I have no need to do more than you
aro doing. I have only to help your
frlend-fcaptaln Arrol will welcome my
evidence. It was you, not I, remember,
who wanted to reopen tho case."
"I will aBk Captain Arrol not to do so.
I will offer to marry him without his
taking any steps to clear himself I"
"I dare say you would. And for that
reason I am compelled to hold this pistol
at your head.
"And If I refuse as I do refusel what
advantage will It be to you to Incriminate
my mother?"
"It will be no advantage, but It will
satisfy my sense of Justlce-or my desire
for vengeance. If you like. I wonder, too,
how Captain Arrol -will feel when he finds
he has married the daughter of the
woman who Bhot her husband and very
nearly let him 'be hanged for if
"You talk like a fiend!" cried Maud.
She stared wildly nt the celling, as If In
search of Inspiration. "I don't believe
you would carry out your threats
"I do not think It would be wise of you
to act on that assumption," ho warned
her.
"You would be punished yourself," shei
reminded him.
"Possibly. I might, however, communi
cate the fact In a way which would not
expose me to a charge of complicity."
"You are cunning, as blackmailers must
needs be," sneered Maud. "I should love
to see you caught In one of your own
snares, nan!" ner anger reaaaerten n
self "I should Indeed be a fool to sacri
fice myself to a man like you. I should
not even gain my end. Do you suppose
that Martin Arrol will desist from his
endeavors to clear himself at my bid
ding? And If he discovers the real author
of the crime what will It pront that
unfortunate woman that I have married
you?"
"Arrol will not trouble to persevere In
his Inquiries If you ,te41 him not to of
that I am sure. Ho dropped that matter
long ago and only revived it at your
bidding. Besides, he stands no chance
whatever without my assistance. Ho
would never get at the truth of th
matter."
He jaw that Bhe was wavering. "Maud,"
ho said, with desperate earnestness, "do
not condemn ma without reflection. I
loathe the weapon which chance has put
Into my hands; but I can reject no means
of holding you. You despise me
as a lover, you think of this man Arrol.
How long have you known him three
weeks, four weeks? What do you know
of him? You have seen him only In his
ship on the open sea, In a position of re
sponsibility, acting' always under the eyes
of others. What sort of roan will he be
on shore? Do you really suppose that the
ma,n who has spent the last dozen years
of his life as the skipper of a trading
steamer a fruit boat hobnobbing with all
the riffraff of the Moroeea ports, could
tee a nt mate for you you a. university
graduate, a Hlrl reared In the lap of lux
ury and culture? If I did not love you. It

"I deny that, and you say that she

shoulders, nnd known you ever since you
were In long clothes. If I love you It

specially eager, I wonder? Your mother
tells mo that he did not wnnt to con
tinue tho acquaintance, that he seemed
anxious to find somo oxcuso for not seo
lng you again "
"Thnt was not truo," broke In Maud,
but she looked away from tho man be
fore her, for sho knew that Martin had
been ready to glvo her up, had even
urged that they should part forover.
Huron seemed to guess this. "I
wouldn't break off our friendship. I
wouldn't glvo you up whatever barriers
might bo erected between us," ho con
tinued, fixing his keen eyes upon her.
"I would try all means, fair or foul, to
win you. At present I'm trying foul.
Don't you think I must love you more?"
Sho hesitated. "I suppose you lovo mo
In somo qufor sinister way," sho admitted
grudgingly, "which makes it tho more
strange that you should try to bully mo."
Huron gave a low laugh. "Haven't you
Jumped to conclusions all this time?" he
suggested. "When did I bully you? You
nt onto took it for granted that I was
going to hold a pistol at your hea I
had a fierce row with Graclo tho other
evening, nnd I- confess I did not spare
her. She was In a pnnlo nt Arrol's re
appearance, and at your endeavors to
make him reopen tho case. She was
angry, too, that I still preferred you to
her. At last I reminded her of the prom
ise sho had given me on your behalf.
Well, perhaps I did threaten her" he
paused nnd looked grave "I can't regret
It, because our talk made the peril of
my position apparent to me, also the
vnlue of that weapon which I had so long
held In reserve. But I don't think I
should have used It If I had had to deal
with you alone."
Maud listened to him, biting her Up
nervously. In some way, she hardly
knew how, ho had disarmed her, had
even secured a certain measure, of sym
pathy for himself. She realised tho
depths of his passion for hor, and thus
was able to understand how great must
bo his temptation to use his undoubted
power. She looked covertly at tho man.
Slnco he hnd confessed that ho loved her
It struck her that there was something
strong about him. She hated him, yet
was Borry for him In a way; she could
not truthfully say that she despised him.
Bho had a paralyzing sense of being in
his power. Mai tin seemed helpless and
far away. But she loved Martin nnd
hated Huron. She would marry Martin.
Then her heart sank. What would be
come of her mother If sho were to tell
Huron so7 If ho were to execute his
threat? Onco his bolt was shot It could
never be recalled.
But the sacrifice demanded of her was
enormous. Nothing less than the sacrifice
of her whole life. "Why should she give
up so much for her cold, frivolous, guilty
mother? For that matter, why should
any one sacrifice himself for another? It
was tho nature, she supposed, of tho
strong to take up the burden. Sacrifices
were for those who were equal to them.
Japanese samurai, Carmelite nuns, mis
sionaries, soldiers, these threw away their
lives every day that others might live.
There was a tlmo when she had longed
to do heroic deeds and enjoy tho sweets
of martyrdom. She had envied those who
had the opportunity of giving up their
place In the lifeboat to another. Well,
now sho had that chance. Her mother
was clamoring for a place In the life
boat, and It rested with "her to give It
to her.
But a loveless marriage! that was not
the sort ot sacrifice she had contemplated
or wished for. Yet It was a doom which,
countless girls faced cheerfully for
money, for position; sometimes merely
out of obedience to their elders.
But supposing she were strong enough
to give up Martin? Her Inconstancy
would stab him to the heart. Then sha
thought of the man by her side. He had
been watting for her five years. Martin
had known her three -weeks.
She looked at Huron out of the corner
of her eye.
"1 wish you would ratify the promise
your mother made," he said wistfully.
CHAPTER XL
IT DID not take Martin Arrol long to
overcome that dislike' of London to
which he had confessed on the deck of
the steamer. Richard had introduced
him to his tailor and once again he had
th satisfaction ot being dressed as a gen
tleman. And It was a satisfaction, he
confessed to himself, when he entered a
theatre or & smart restaurant and found
himself, for tho first time In many years,
rubbing shoulders with men and women
of his own caste. The roughness of man
ner and speech that Tie had acquded In
his dealings With Lascars and e nen
often the scum of humanity slipped frorn
him without an effort. The ceaseless
roar of London that reached him in his
room in the 'Ad el phi as a subdued mur
mur was, he found, as soothing as the
nwlsh ot the water along the Sldt's side,
and the shrieking of the motors was no
bad substitute for the stamp of the en
gines. Life Is pleasant enough In London
for a well-set-up man of three or four and
30 with plenty of loose cash In hla
pockets.
He was disappointed at having received
no reply from Maud. Ha did not know,
after all, that he had any reason to ex.
pect one so soon, and women, he remem
bered, were never so eager as men In
love, business or anything else. No
doubt she must be tremendously occu
pied with her friends Just now after hr
long absence abroad. He wondered what
Mrs. Plessey thought about It. He ant
tlclpated strong opposition from that
quarter. And yet the woman might be
grateful, and, if not that, might think It
worth while to conolllate him from rea
sons of poltoy. He oould never be her
frlend-t that he was sure. But that
question could only arise when he and
Maud were married, and he bad to oisar
himself beforo that oould happen.
iie eall4 on. fie solicitors who had con
ducted his defense. Mr. Raines, a genial
fresh-complexioned man with the appear

bered the case quite well, and shook
hands with him warmly When Martin
explained that he wished to reopen the

not convicted. No ono has a right to say
you had anything to do with tho murder.
What further concern have you with the
cnae?"
Somehow Martin did not care to say
that ho proposed to marry tho dead
man's daughter.
"I don't wish to remain under this
cloud of suspicion all the rest of my
life," he snld,
"Suspicion? Humbug. Any ono Is freo
to suspect any one else of any crime pro
vided he doesn't say so. Tho next tlmo
anybody suggests that you murdered old

assumed a truculent air.
"They won't bo such fools as to say

who was accused of the murder, and who
got off because tho Jury disagreed."

The Daily Story
The Other Woman
It was the third week of their married
life. Perdlta's eyos no longer had a
Btnrtled look In their bluo depths when
friends and acquaintances nddrossed her
as "Mrs. Maxwell." Robert was all that
a husband should be, and Perdlta was cer
tain that they would "live happily ever
nf terward. If It wcro not for a little book
a llttlo leather-covered book with
"Diary," stamped upon It In gilt letters.
To her knowledge Robert had not writ
ten In It slnco their wedding day, but
there It lay on his dresser, rich with in
formation concerning his past life so
Perdlta thought. Sho longed to know more
of tho years that had como and gone
before sho stepped Into his life. He had
spoken freely of his boyhood, but of his
later years ho had said little, and Perdlta
did not approve of his reticence.
She told him so that evening after din
ner, as thoy sat among tho cushions of
tho davenport.
"I think," sho said pensively, "that I m
JCyealous!" Robert echoed laughingly.
"What's tho Joke now, dear?
"Oh, it's no laughing matter! I won
der that I didn't think of It before. I've
told you over and over again that you
are tlie only man-wlth the exception ot
father-that I over loved, nnd you
ynu "
"And 17" he prompted gravely.
"Oh " Is sounds horrid to say It. but
you've never told me that I was the the
tho only woman you ever cared fori
There! It was out at last, and Per
dlta burled her flushed face In a Gibson
soft pillow and cried softly as ono who
fullv pxnected to bo comforted for the
space of half a minute.
Then two strong arms lifted her bodily,
and Robert's voice husky with some re
pressed emotlon-sald gently, "There was
another woman, dear. Shall I tell you
about her?"
Perdlta sat bolt upright at this and
stared at him with sadly accusing eyes.
"Oh! Oh!" she gasped. "No wonder
you didn't ask mo to read your diary!
I s-s-BUppose," she sobbed, "that s-s-she's
In there."
"Yes, she's there nil right," Robert
said In a voice so choked with feeling
that Perdlta stolo a look at his face.
Then her eyes blazed with Indignation,
for tho emotion that mastered him was
mirth. Ho was laughing laughing
heartily.
He saw the look of Indignation suc
ceeded by one of horror and grief, and
it sobered him.
"Perdltal" ho cried remorsefully, aa
she rose to leave the room, "forglvo me,
llttlo womanl When you read the diary
you'll understand."
He heard the click of her heels on the
stairs, and sprang after her, but thei
door of her room was looked when he
reached It, and a stifled sob was the only
reply to his entreaty for pardon.
"Read tho diary, sweetheart," ho plead
ed. "I was a brute to laugh, but It Is
I mean It was so amusing."
"A-m-m-muslngI" came In heartrend
ing tones from poor Perdlta.
"Of course I don't mean that, but
confound my blundering tongue any
wayl" "D-d-don't swear," sobbed tho martyr
on tho other side of the door. "I can't
stand anything m-m-mor now."
"All right," Robert said contritely.
"I'm going down to the library. If you

Perdlta "
"Well!"
"Plcnso read my diary, dear."
"Read that book? Never!" she said to
herself, and for n tlmo tho tears camo
thick and fast. Then common sense
whispered, "Many mon have loved two
women; there Is nothing wrong In loving
three ono nt a Urns. Don't bo
chlldlshl Read the book."
Pedlta took tho diary In her trembling
hands. It opened In tho middle, and she
caught a glimpse of her own name.
"Perdlta," bIio read, "la not at all like
her. I romember that Bho was very tall,
stately and dignified n brown-haired
dark-eyed goddess, with a full, rich
volco. How I loved licrl"
"How I hato her!" Perdlta said be
tween her llttlo whlto teeth, but sho
read on, as though fascinated. "Perdlta
Is her exact opposite small, fair, dainty
and well, I believe lovnbla describes hor
better than any other adjective. I won
der If ovory man loves a Dream Lady
until tho Real Lady comes?"
"A Dream Lady," Perdlta said under
her breath, tho color flooding her tear
stained face. "Oh, poor abused Robert!"
Thcro was tho quick click of heels on
tho stairs, and in less tlmo than tt takes
to tell It, tho Real Lady was fairly out
rivaling her llego lord'ln what somo cynlo
has called "Tho lost art of asking for
giveness." (Copyrlgnt, 1915.)
